TO THE FUTURE OF DOCUMENTARY STORYTELLING

Video plays an integral role in our present, and will, undoubtedly, dominate and shape our future. We’re making more films than ever before, producing them and distributing them in intriguing, ever-evolving ways, and watching them wherever we go, from the screens in our pockets to the most public of places. And yet, during a time when societal unease and shifting mores permeate the zeitgeist, truthful stories that inspire, evoke empathy, and awaken are an increasingly necessary tool to connect us, human to human, and to unite people across the globe.

The Video Consortium was born out of a desire to bring together those who craft these stories — the best nonfiction videos you’ll find on the internet today. As creators, we help each other strengthen the work we make through collaborating, exchanging knowledge, and communing both IRL and online . . . and, in the process, furthering this powerful medium towards a bright and brilliant future. »

WHO WE ARE

The Video Consortium is a 501(c)3-registered creative community that unifies hundreds of video journalists and nonfiction filmmakers across the globe. We provide a safe space to connect, create, commune, and consume work, both in person (at our monthly gatherings in each chapter city) and online (in a secret forum and right here, on this website).

We're based throughout the world, from San Francisco to Singapore, New York to Nairobi, London to Los Angeles. And, we've been recognized for our work at a plethora of festivals — from Sundance to SXSW and Toronto to TriBeCa — and with a variety of awards — from Emmys to Webbies and Picture of the Year to the Pulitzer.

We're both independent filmmakers for and staffers at today's top publications and media outlets. Some include:
